Earnhardt Ganassi Racing is expected to announce in the next two weeks that Juan Pablo Montoya has signed a contract extension to remain with the team. In 2012, the team will remain a two-car team, with most of its current sponsors staying with the team.

Richard Childress Racing is attempting to work out contract extensions with Clint Bowyer and General Mills. Childress said he thinks that General Mills will return to the team next season, but they still need to secure additional sponsorship for the No. 33 team
